Elon Musk acknowledges his budget-cutting exercise known as DOGE hasn't been as successful as he hoped. But he says it may go on for President Trump's entire four years in office — more than twice as long as originally planned.

DOGE was set up to terminate on July 4, 2026. But Musk now says his controversial group could help oversee the slashing of federal spending through the end of 2028.

"I think so," Musk said of DOGE being extended. "It's up to the president."

Musk held an hour-long Q&A session with Axios and about a dozen other news outlets in the White House's Roosevelt Room, just outside the Oval Office.
